Last Wish System Chapter 56
Advertisement
In the wall of the room, there were instructions to cast a spell.
That was a strange kind of Illusion Spell because its use wasn't to make the opponent fell into an illusion but to put an illusion around the user's body.
That way, the outsiders wouldn't see the real appearance of the one who cast the illusion spell, only the appearance created by the illusion.
That kind of spell was similar to the ones cast in the traps, so people like Yale who were immune to illusions wouldn't be affected.
Of course, if the other party had too much difference in the level with the caster, they would be able to ignore the illusion effects and would also see the real body even without having immunity.
The illusion could also mask the level of the caster, which was very good to make the opponent underestimate the caster's real power.
Of course, it was only possible to mask like a lower level.
That was a useful skill for those who were too famous and wanted to be low-key while traveling or to those who needed to infiltrate into an enemy's territory.
The spell was a really good one, but it wasn't too useful to any member of the group.
However, it was still a powerful spell left to them by an elder, so they would learn it even if they didn't have an instant use for it.
All the members of the group sat in front of the wall and started to practice the spell.
The first one to learn it was Yale, due to his perfect affinity with the light element and his Illusion Immunity, learning illusion spells was easy for him despite having never tried before.
[The user successfully created the Magic Skill "Body Illusion".]
[Body Illusion Level 1: Generates an illusion around the body. Light Element. It requires 1 Origin Point for every hour. Mastery at level 10.]
Yale was happy seeing the consumption rate because as long as he didn't engage in battle, it was possible for him to maintain the spell permanently.
He didn't have any need to use that kind of spell, but having it activated permanently was free because he would recover the first point in ten minutes. As long as he had the spell activated, it would level up. Mastering Body illusion was only a matter of time.
Yale looked at his teammates, and they were still immersed in their meditation, trying to learn the Magic Skill.

Then Yale looked again at the wall, and he noticed something strange.
Some pictures that seemed only for decorations started to seem mysterious to Yale. Those pictures weren't as simple as they appeared at first sight.
He only realized about it after learning the spell.
Yale's eyes lighted, he guessed that those strange pictures were another legacy and that the prerequisite was obtaining some mastery in Body Illusion first.
He decided to focus on practicing the spell until the others finished learning it. Being in the front of the wall was the best spot to meditate about the spell and improve it.
That was better than only improving it by practicing it.
Yale's speed increasing his proficiency in Body Illusion could only be explained as monstrous. The more he focused and meditated about the wall, the quicker he improved, he was even starting to be able to understand the mysterious pictures.
In a mere hour, Yale improved the spell until level six, the help of the wall was something even better than the formations in the Imperial City.
Of course, those formations served to improve all types of practice, while the wall only enhanced the speed of Body Illusion.
At that time, Serka finally managed to use the spell.
Being able to learn such a difficult spell in one hour was remarkable, Yale's talent to learn illusion skills was just abnormal and couldn't be used as a standard.
Casting an illusion spell into the caster's body was dangerous because the caster had chances to be affected negatively. Thus, it couldn't be learned or mastered too quickly. However, those dangers didn't exist for Yale, so he could practice it without any worries.
When Serka looked at Yale, she saw how his appearance was constantly changing. She would be a fool if she didn't guess that Yale had already learned the spell long ago and had started improving his mastery in it.
Serka decided to do the same because she still needed to wait for the others.
Half an hour later, Nurvey also finished learning the spell, and she also chose to continue training because it was a great chance to improve the mastery of the spell.
Kermu was the next one. He needed four whole hours to learn it because his light element affinity was only average.
At that time, Serka and Nurvey had already improved a lot, while Yale already had the spell at level eight.

After Kermu saw that Hyrk was still trying to cast the spell properly, he also decided to practice, he didn't hope to improve too much, but he didn't want to waste time.
Hyrk's affinity to the light element was only at the low grade. He was having a lot of difficulties to learn such an advanced spell.
A half a day had passed since they reached the wall, and Yale finally mastered Body Illusion.
[The user upgraded the Magic Skill "Body Illusion" to Level 10.]
[The user mastered Magic Skill "Body Illusion".]
That was the first skill Yale mastered because the Origin Skill was mastered since he created it.
A mastered skill was already in the perfect form its creator devised, to improve it, one should derivate it into another spell or use it as a base to create a new one.
With his current level in Body Illusion, even those at the Rank 1 would be unable to see through his illusion. Higher levels would be able to detect him, but that was due to Yale's low level, not the spell's fault. As he advanced his level, the spell would be more powerful.
Then, Yale looked again at the mysterious pictures, and he understood them as if they were letters.
"Only those who are able to read these words are worthy of learning the true legacy I left in this area."
After reading those words, information started to appear in Yale's mind, and he began to meditate automatically.
Yale had obtained enlightenment due to the sudden increase in knowledge.
[Enlightenment increased the Intelligence points to 27.]
[Enlightenment increased the Wisdom points to 27.]
That was a considerable increase, but Yale didn't notice it because he was immersed in understanding the new skill.
After more than a day trying to do it, Hyrk finally managed to learn the spell, but Yale was still immersed in his enlightenment.
The others had noticed Yale's enlightenment long ago and didn't disturb him. That was his good fortune, and he couldn't share it with others.
They only continued training to try also to obtain some enlightenment, but that wasn't a thing that can be sought.
Yale awakened three days after the group had reached the wall and started to learn Illusion Body.
[The user learned a derived skill from "Illusion Body", the Combined Skill "Shape Shift" added to the Skill Menu.]
[Shape Shift Level 1: Alters the body merging illusions with reality, the degree of the real changes will rely upon the mastery level. Light and Darkness Element. The Origin Points cost would differ for every change. The changes will remain until the user cancels them. Mastery at level 100.]
When Yale saw the skill's description, he was without words. That Combined Skill was a heaven-defying, worthy of being a legacy skill from the Special Realm.
If one compared Body Illusion with Shape Shift, the difference was obvious. One was an illusion spell, while the other could really change the shape, although it still had a lot of illusion parts at the first levels.
The best part of the skill was that the effects would only disappear when Yale decided, and there was no cost for the time it was activated, so even if he started a battle with the skill active, he wouldn't have any handicap.
"You finally awakened, how did you manage to have such good luck to find enlightenment while learning a legacy? I really envy you."
Kermu was the one who spoke. Since he didn't put too much effort into increasing the level of the legacy spell, he was the first one to notice that Yale had awakened from his enlightenment.
"I was only lucky when obtaining the second legacy."
"What? Where is the second legacy."
Kermu was completely shocked when he heard Yale's words.
"In those strange pictures."
Yale pointed at the pictures. He didn't want to hide the second legacy's existence from the others.
"I don't see anything."
Kermu sighed.
"It seems that to learn it, you need to master the previous legacy."
"That isn't right. I also mastered it, and I can't see any strange picture. I can only see the first legacy and nothing else in the wall."
Yale was shocked as he heard Serka's words. Although Yale didn't understand the pictures at the start, he was able to see them.
"Maybe it is covered by an illusion."
Kermu was again the one who analyzed the situation.
"We should have already been used to the fact that a lot of things here are hidden under those illusions. Having a secret legacy hidden behind an illusion isn't that strange."
Everyone agreed with Kermu because his words seemed to make sense.

Truth hides behind action. Delve. A word with many meanings. It may refer to an abyss, a dark place of no return or may also be a refuge, a haven of retreat from the harshness of the outside.

Suffering things that should not be suffered in search of things that should not be known. Once a common man, drowned in the same questions that have plagued humanity since the beginning of times, now I have found my answers. Now I have meaning. Delve, and you shall have yours as well.
